Plant needs energy for growth, transport and maintenance of vital functions as animals do. To get the energy required, they oxidize (i.e. burn the photosynthetically fixed sugars). At the same time, water and carbon dioxide are released as waste products. Respiration occurs in all living plant parts (i.e. in the leaves, trunk and roots).

Photosynthesis is the most fundamental process in plants because it provides raw material for growth and stores energy for later use in vital functions. In photosynthesis, the energy of solar radiation is converted into chemical form using atmospheric carbon dioxide and soil water.
